GODERICH PAVILION
Faced with reduced finances in
its treasury, largely as a result
of no revenue, this summer from
the usual monster bingo games,
the Lions Club at -its initial meet-
ing:for the season at the Bedford
Hotel Friday Night laid plans for
money raising projects to meet its
needs•.
Lion president George Parsons
pointed out that the Lions drop-
ped $75 on its first bingo and added
another debit of $400 on its sec-
ond bingo after which it decided
to drop them for the year: Two
projects were named to raise
funds.
First of these is a peanut blitz
scheduled for September 25 and 2d
when members of the Lions Club
will canvass homes selling peanuts
Friday evening and hold a tag day
on Saturday. Lion Howard Blue
outlined the details of the peanut
blitz.
Second project is the installation
at the arena of a machine to make
hot pop corn. The arena has
agreed to split on profits with Lions
50-50 from sales. Cost of machine
and its installation would -run to
nearly 51,000. A -committee was
given go ahead signal to buy ma-
chine and eventually return to
treasury from profits cost of the
purchase of the machine.
Lion Jim Kinkead told " of plans
to have all Lions_ Clubs in Huron'
County sponsor the Huron County
Music Festival rather than con-
tinuing on with set-up in past.
The Festival has grown so large it
has necessitated a larger organiz-
ation carrying it on. Whether •the
vicious Lions Clubs will sponsor it
will be reported at a later date.
100% Attendance Pins
Presentation of one hundred per
cent attendance pins was made by
Lion Bert Drysdale to about 25
Lions.
Two new members tp the Liens
Club, Bill Tipple and Jack Berry,

they- dropped about $1,500 on this
project last season.
Lion President Parsons mention-
ed that the resignation had vbeen
received of Lion John Thorpe, now
stationed at Toronto with Imperial
Oil. Lion Parsons expressed the
sentiments of the club members
in saying they were sorry to see
Lion John Thorpe leaving 'for he
had been a loyal and hard working
member of the club. "Our loss
will be others' gain," he stated.
Lion Gordon McManus reminded
the gathering that the Lions still
had an obligation to meet in plac-
ing in the arena a plaque contain-
ing the names of those who had
made contributions toward the in-
stallation of the permanent floor
in the arena.

Well Known Boat
Ends Long Career
One of the best known boats in
Goderich, the "Captain John," has
gone to her final resting place on
the bottom of Lake Huron.
Familiar to many citizens and
visitors as she travelled. about the
harbor for many years, the little
pleasure craft was towed out into
the lake south of Goderich and set
afire, Wednesday night of last
week.
Hundreds lined the beach and
the bankabove to watch as the
boat, soaked With gasoline and oil,.
burned until close to midnight.
Many came to the waterfront think-
ing that a grain boat was ablaze
since the night fire gave the illu-
sion that it was a larger ship
burning on,the water.
The "Captain John." owned by 1
Bert MacDonald, was built in 1934+
and- named after Bert's father.
She was used as• a pleasure craft
for many years, plying in - and out i
of the harbor with loads of vaca-
tionists, and took part in a number
of dramatic rescues.
One of her most hazardous trips
was one to Kincardine during a
violent storm when she was used
to save a valuable yacht from al-
most certain destruction .on the
shore. -
On another occasion she towed
into port the last sailing vessel
on the Great Lakes, the e "J. T.
Wing," after, a sudden calm had
left the big schooner stranded on
the lake with a load of lumber.
